'The greatest people and the highest good
Are both like water,
Nurturing everything, contending with nothing;
Dwelling in the humble and lowly places.
Nothing beneath the Heavens is more gentle and yielding than Water.
Yet, it is unsurpassed in overcoming the strong and the hard.'
Lao-tzu, 6th Century BC, 'Dao Te Ching'
I really like "fathomless years of starlight"
